Azeri soldier wounded on frontline
BAKU – An Azerbaijani soldier has been wounded after Armenian armed forces violated ceasefire on the contact line of the two countries’ troops, Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry has said.
The ceasefire breach took place near an occupied village of Azerbaijan’s Aghdam region on Tuesday evening. The 19-year-old serviceman, who received a leg injury, is in satisfactory condition.
The two South Caucasus republics waged a war in the early 1990s. Armenia has been occupying over 20 percent of Azerbaijan’s territory since then. A ceasefire accord was signed in 1994, but OSCE-brokered peace talks have been largely fruitless so far.
